• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion. view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this very important Petition. Coming from a pastoralist community, in the olden days, maybe cattle rustling was considered an art. If you were very smart than your opponent, you could take a few cattle off them. But I think it is an art whose time has passed. It is almost considered a normal crime when cattle rustling takes place between the area of Tigania, Isiolo, Marsabit and Samburu. There is no effective and assertive action that is taken to bring the culprits to book. It almost becomes a cyclic conflict ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion by Hon. Mbui and I want to thank him. I did not know that he comes from a family that was running Kenya’s security for a few generations. The issue of security in our schools is really important. As a parent, when I send my young son or daughter to school for eight hours or a boarder who will be there for three months, then I worry about the safety and comfort of the child while he or she is in the precincts of the school. Without ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I think Hon. Sankok at times should stop being an activist and become a legislator! I think the issue of Mau is live and it will be with us for a while. So, he should hold his horse. We want to applaud those schools that have already installed CCTV cameras. A good example in my constituency of Saku is Moi Girls’ School where recently, there was a dorm that was partially burnt. When we went to the school, we realised that it was an electric fault rather than arson. So, we were able ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, you know one is natural and the other one is an accident. We hope the Member gets a quick recovery. While supporting this, in our schools, we normally have one or two watchmen who look after the school security. That is not good enough because most of the schools, with the current numbers of enrolment, some with up to 1,200 youngsters, the idea of watchmen looking after the security of a school is a thing of the past. Although they are a hindrance when somebody wants to get into the school and they are able to sight ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. It shows the progressive nature of our Constitution and it gives effect to the constitutional order that we believe in. At the outset, I think the anchoring of this particular Bill is in the first observation by the Committee. The principal object of the Bill is to give a framework governing compulsory The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: acquisition of land. The land in Kenya either belongs to individuals or communities. The Constitution is very clear in terms of what public, private and community land is. An example is the construction of the Nairobi-Addis Ababa Highway or the Isiolo- Moyale Road in the county of Marsabit; which is a good road. It has opened up our area to development. That road passes through the major urban centres that are spread across Marsabit County. When you look at the schedule of compensation, people are compensated with as little as Kshs1, 000, yet they lost half their plots or almost ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Finally, I want to say that via this Bill, issues of land grabbing, land speculation, community participation and all that will be given some thinking or some voice. This Bill is very important. Those Members who will not be able to contribute to the debate should actually be present during the Committee of the whole House. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Petition. It confirms the impunity and lack of responsibility that we are witnessing in the Government. It was very sad during the rainy season when almost three counties were under water. Nobody was coming out clearly to say what help those citizens were receiving either from the parastatal called KenGen or from the national Government, for that matter. Whatever help they were given was as if they needed maize, rice and sugar yet they had lost all their property. What is really important is the management of the upper waters ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Quickly I will comment on both petitions. Article 95 of the Constitution tells us that we can bring anything before Parliament, but I think it would be misguided for this Parliament to encourage gambling, use of drugs and allow youngsters to steal money from families. That is unacceptable. But the Member has the right to bring whatever petition. On the second one of human-wildlife conflict, I think it is a serious issue in this country. As soon as the 11th Parliament passed the Wildlife Act, KWS has not been able to compensate throughout the ... view
